I plugged in my phone and it did an auto update. It bricked the phone and it took many tries to get a hard reboot. The first 19 tries did nothing. Eventually the apple logo appeared on the 20th attempt and I was able to get in. DO not use this update. APPLE FIX THIS
iPhone X, iOS 15
It surely is not iOS 17.4.1 because...
I conducted a thorough search of this forum using the term 'After iOS update brick' and uncovered numerous posts detailing similar issues across various iOS updates. This suggests that iOS updates may not consistently be the root cause. Below are a handful of examples extracted from over 4,000 search results:
"After iOS 17.4.1" will be an addition to this list posted by you.
Was your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.
I have been updating my devices ever since I bought my first device in 2009. iPhone 3Gs, 4S, 5, 6, SE (1st Gen), 7, 8 and iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13, Macbook Air 2019, MacBook Pro 16"
I never had any issues with any iOS, iPadOS, or macOS updates to date.
I would personally recommend everyone update their devices instead of listening to rumors from people who may not have kept their devices free from any spurious software.
iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken.
iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
This seems purely coincidental so please check the Setting on your device.
